[kj] OT - Libertines... good or horrible

[bluce ree]

I'm betting they've got a fare few fans here.  Can someone explain the appeal of them?
 
I've got a soft spot for their crack-addled lead singer (he used to write a QPR fanzine back in the day!) but the music seems just soooo utterly without merit.
 
There is no balls to it, it sounds like it's being played by 15 year olds and he sings much like a drunk fergal sharkey.  yet they are proclaimed as the saviours of rock and roll.
